TDoes ony Loisel, the mayor of Aytré, deserve a sanction for his comments on the violence made publicly this Thursday, December 19, at a community council meeting of the La Rochelle urban community? Response at the beginning of January, until “the passions subside”, indicates Jean-François Fountaine. At the end of the meeting, the various left president of the Laroche intercommunality announced that he was going to bring together the presidents of the four political groups formed within the assembly and the vice-president for gender equality, Sylvie Guerry-Gazeau, to “take a collective position”.
It was during the debate on the Territorial Coherence Scheme (SCoT), a document which sets the main directions for the evolution of territories at the scale of Aunis, that the words of Tony Loisel may have shocked.
Psychological plan
The mayor of Aytré first explained, like those of Clavette and Sainte-Soulle before him, that the municipalities did not feel “heard” by the majority of President Fountaine and too often “not consulted” for decisions that affected them. concern. And to cite the example of the TER station which he calls for in the Bel-Air area but which does not appear in the community projects. But also that of the future hospital that the Aytresian municipality does not want on the DBMA-Aytré Métal site, as validated by the hospital's supervisory board, but in Varaize.
At the end of the meeting, the president indicated that he had “received a number of messages” from colleagues outraged by the comments made by the mayor of Aytré
Evoking a subject “in the spirit of the times” and “a judgment which is shown on TV”, the mayor of Aytré then makes a connection between intra-family violence and “VIPs” which he describes as “intra-political violence”. The fact that elected officials are “not consulted” and have subjects “imposed on them” thus becoming comparable, “on a psychological level”, to the darkest (and criminally reprehensible) thing in the circle family. A “feeling” that he specifies: “Things are imposed on us, we don’t dialogue, that’s exactly what we experience. »
“Not on the same level”
Vincent Demester then wants to react “to the comments made”. For the mayor of Saint-Vivien, it is clear that his colleague is referring to the trial of the Mazan rapists, the deliberations of which were delivered the same day. Can we “equate” the experience of elected officials who do not obtain satisfaction in the balance of political power with the most horrible intra-family violence and rape?
“You can’t let this slide, Mr. President!” », asserts the elected official, addressing Jean-François Fountaine. A president who admits “not having understood everything”, at first glance, of the words of his political opponent, but confirms that we “are not on the same level”.
At the end of the meeting, he then indicated that he had received “a certain number of messages” from the ranks of his majority, to be outraged by the words of Tony Loisel. A disciplinary meeting is therefore scheduled. But it seems that the internal regulations, voted on by elected officials at the start of their mandate, did not provide for such a scenario.
